COURSE DESCRIPTION
This webinar will examine potential policy recommendations and promising practices that may help reduce and prevent youth vaping. Due to the recency of the spread of vaping, there has been insufficient time for research to confirm evidence-based programs that can specifically prevent vaping. However, based on knowledge of the risk factors for vaping, as well as of the evidence-based cigarette and tobacco product use prevention programs, several promising practices exist.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Discuss the current public health response to youth vaping
2. Review challenges to youth vaping prevention
3. Examine potential policy recommendations to prevent youth vaping
4. Identify promising prevention practices to address youth vaping
